I coulda swore that said okra. Took three readings to ralize I was wrong.
Thank goodness.
The thought of an okra burger is just... harsh
--- Quote from: chaironic on 24 Feb 2011, 18:02 ---Hanners seems always to push her boundaries when no one is looking. When she does something ostensibly out of character around the other characters, they all call her on it, sometimes sort of accusing her of being inconsistent. Is this just because her getting caught is a cute gag, or are her friends typecasting her, keeping her from growing?

The only time I recall anyone "calling her on it" was with the earrings. Any corrections are more than welcome. Aside from that, you make an interesting point. Do OCD sufferers push boundaries more when alone, or in a social situation? I spose it may depend on the individual, and I know some of them never push those boundaries at all without professional help.
Also, she's a pokeslut. That was definitely a boundary push, as was the pretend date. Both done in front of friends!
maddness:
I also read it as okra first time round.
DSL:
Kind of interesting to me that, as Hanners pushes her boundaries (whether the rest of the cast sees it or not) and, theoretically, develops as a character -- it seems to me, anyway, that Jeph is drawing and writing her steadily younger than the rest of the cast. I know the "powerful" drugs were offered and accepted as the explanation, but in that Famous First Encounter and for many strips thereafter, Hannelore (not yet Hanners) was almost a contemporary; now she seems like everyone's little sister.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore." - James Nicoll
I agree with him, and I majored in it at university.

Linguistically speaking, besides, addition of things like BRB does nothing to the English lexicon but expand it. A language doesn't die unless it's systematically suppressed.
